Entry #98

Indie Games Funded + TOME Episode 06 released!

Updated 2013-02-26 20:35:00

So first off, Cryamore has not only been fully-funded, but over 400% funded from its original goal ($242,309 in total)! This amazing indie game created by the likes of Rob Porter, Alan Wansom and a whole host of other very talented folks, is not only gonna be playable on all major mobile devices, but all major CONSOLES as well! I wanna thank all of you who chipped in any amount of money to this project. We had a really fun celebratory stream last night with live music by Aivi Tran and lots of Q&amp;A from the crew. We're gonna strive to make this an AMAZING game!

On another note, while I'm not currently involved with Skullgirls, many of my friends and colleagues are, some of which have been hard at work animating and developing Squigly, the first of (hopefully many) DLC characters for the game! In just ONE DAY, they raised over $100,000 in order to complete her, and with a full month to go, your donations will help the team go on to create more and more awesome content! Show them your support!

It's a tall order, but now that I know I've managed to top Episode 05, I need to do my absolute best to top 06! We're already working on the next one; the actors have been recorded, the audio's been mixed, all of the new character assets are drawn and I've begun animating the second scene. I'm very proud of this next one even just from a scripting standpoint (thanks to Liz for making it a very heartfelt story) and I'm gonna haul ass to make the animation reflect it. Keep it tuned to the official TOME Facebook page for details!

I have said this before, but I love the direction you have been taking the series. And I love every character related change you made since TTA and believe every change, no matter how major or minor, has so far been positive if not outright brilliant. The story is better, the characters are more endearing, it is much more polished, it no longer feels too much like DBZ, Etc. Etc. Etc.

What I want to know, however, is will the outcomes be different?

Don't get me wrong, I loved TTA (I recently re-watched every episode of TTA because episode 6 of TOME got me so pumped after re-watching it nearly twenty times) and it had some great (albeit sometimes DBZ like) plot twists. But I already know what happens in TTA. Without spoiling it for me, will thing like the D-Bug org's leader(s) and other story points be changed enough so that someone who watched the original series won't be able to predict things like this.
